[QUOTE="Randi, post: 1313171, member: 24883"] We believe in the half hour for a cow and hour for a heifer rule. That there should be progress. But we've got tons of experience and sometimes you just 'know' something isn't right. In normal (ish) births where membranes are present that's easy, its the malpresentations that don't progress that far that are the biggest problem.. Breech or upside down, or other malpresentations where nothing stimulates the cervix you may not even have membranes to go on. They are the times where you see a cow wandering around, acting off, sometimes they don't even act like they are calving other than wandering around abnormally, or you might just see a little blood on the tail. That is where it pays to pay fairly close attention to what is going on, if you're on the ball you might just save the calf, but if you're 'just giving her more time', well you'll probably end up with a dead calf. Calving management is a nice mixture of Patience, intuition and sometimes luck! [/QUOTE]
